The Red Hot organization releases tribute albums to songwriters, artists etc and proceeds distributed for AIDS awarness campaigns etc. If they decided to do one in honor of Prince, what artists and songs would you feature on the compilation.

"Sometimes it Snows in April"...not who should cover it, but if it was for an AIDS awareness charity, the storyline of the song would fit BEAUTIFULLY.

Sign O' The Times would have to be included as well...

Yep SOTT.I see on the news today 1 in 9 South Africans now have AIDS.

with that in mind, "4 the tears in your eyes" too.

I would imagine Power Fantastic would fit beautifully.

What artists do you think should cover these?

An interesting book:

Black Lies, White Lies
The Truth According To Tony Brown
chapter 7- "AIDS" or "DAIDS"?
chapter 8- The Gang of Frankenstein

Also a recent article:
16- Sex may not be reason for Africa's AIDS problem

According to a study, most African AIDS cases don't follow the
pattern of sexually transmitted diseases. The researchers conclude
that poor medical practices, especially contaminated medical
injections, are to blame. (2/20/03)

Also, Empty Room.

(I can't think of any artists).

That song needs a Willie Nelson cover, seriously.
